Zinedine Zidane in Contention for Potential Return to Management

Zinedine Zidane, who has been without a coaching role since his departure from Real Madrid in 2021, might soon find himself back in the football dugout. Once again, his name is being linked to the managerial position at Manchester United, where the current head coach, Erik Ten Hag, is reportedly facing increasing pressure due to a lackluster season.

According to reports from The Times, Ten Hag is “on thin ice” following the team’s poor form, and Zidane has emerged as a potential candidate to take over as the head coach, as per the Premier League club’s hierarchy.

The report also mentions Sporting CP’s Ruben Amorim as another target for Manchester United, but Zidane appears to be the preferred choice in the eyes of the club’s supporters. It’s important to note that, at this stage, these developments are still speculative.

In addition to Manchester United, Zidane has been recently linked with a possible return to Real Madrid for a third stint, especially with the expected departure of Carlo Ancelotti next summer. However, if Zidane ends up at Manchester United, he might no longer be available by the time Ancelotti leaves his post, creating an interesting dynamic in the managerial market.
